Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy will be aware, we put together a high-level board at chief executive officer level two years ago in respect of the Shannon Basin and for the first time in 50 years progress was made with what might and could be done. The Minister of State, Deputy Canney, is working hard on this and I will get him to give Deputy Murphy an update on the locations, pinch point or otherwise, where action can be taken here. As the Deputy will also be aware, it is not a case of cleaning out the entire Shannon Basin. It is a slow-moving river and there are consequences. I will have the Minister of State, Deputy Canney, give Deputy Murphy an update.
